37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38.Nm
39is an interactive file transfer program, similar to
40.Xr ftp 1 ,
41which performs all operations over an encrypted
42.Xr ssh 1
43transport.
44It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
45compression.
46.Nm
47connects and logs into the specified
Damien Millerd7686fd2001-02-10 00:40:03 +1100[diff] [blame]48.Ar hostname ,
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +1100[diff] [blame]49then enters an interactive command mode.
50.Pp
51The options are as follows:
52.Bl -tag -width Ds
Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000[diff] [blame]53.It Fl b Ar batchfile
54Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
55.Fn batchfile
56instead of
57.Fn stdin .
58Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjuction with a
59non-interactive authentication. Sftp will abort if any of the following
60commands fail:
61.Pa get, put, rename, rm, mkdir, chdir, lchdir
62and
63.Pa lmkdir.
Ben Lindstromc9b6eab2001-03-07 01:29:17 +0000[diff] [blame^]64.It Fl C
65Enables compression (via ssh's
66.Fl C
67flag)
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +1100[diff] [blame]68.It Fl o Ar ssh_option
69Specify an option to be directly passed to
70.Xr ssh 1 .
Ben Lindstromc9b6eab2001-03-07 01:29:17 +0000[diff] [blame^]71.It Fl v
72Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh.

Damien Millerd7686fd2001-02-10 00:40:03 +1100[diff] [blame]75Once in interactive mode,
76.Nm
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +1100[diff] [blame]77understands a set of commands similar to those of
78.Xr ftp 1 .
